NOTD Peacock Feathers and Bows

Today's Nails!

I used Nubar Peacock Feathers as the base and China Glaze Millennium for the stamp. I used Konad plates m59 (polka dot bow) and m3 (little bow on pinky). I wish the sun was out cause Peacock Feathers looks seriously cool in sunlight.

Yesterday I went to Trade Secret and checked out the Alice in Wonderland collection and I have to admit I was a little disappointed. After seeing everyone's swatches I decided I was going to get Absolutely Alice and MaAH. The two reds are pretty but I am not really a red gal. Anyway I was a little disappointed by MaAH, it didn't look that pretty in the bottle, it looked mostly like just silver glitter. I only ended up buying Absolutely Alice, which is really gorgeous. Someone let me know if maybe the bottle of MaAH is deceiving and it really is amazing, so I can run back and get it!

Green For Luck

I planned on leaving my burnt orange polish on until at least today but alas I failed. I did my nails Sunday night so I have been itching to change my polish since Tuesday. I tried to trick myself and put a matte top coat on, so I could pretend I had done a whole new manicure.

Nubar Orange Glitter w/China Glaze's Matte Magic

My trick did not work I remained unconvinced, so I changed my color this morning.


I was feeling green but could not make up my mind. So first I tried Rescue Beauty Lounge's Recycle, which is awesome and looked great in one coat but I wasn't sure it was the right color for today.

My next attempt was with China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle, but I think I was all glittered out cause it wasn't working for me.

Emerald Sparkle

Finally I tried Sally Hansen's Emerald City and it just felt right, whooo finally.

I felt a little like a traitor for taking off my burnt orange before the game. Then I thought green is for good luck. So I am wearing green to bring my team good luck. So yeah traitor feelings no more (I like lying to myself it makes me feel better).

Hook 'Em Horns

This week I am rocking a burnt orange manicure in support of my Longhorns playing for the national title. I am soooo excited about the game. Can't Wait!!!

So I meant to take pictures outside yesterday but I didn't get to and today is really overcast. I mean come on I live in San Antonio, we have sunshine like probably 350 days of the year, well damn that's what I get for procrastinating. Also it's freezing here, well at least to my South Texas mind it's freezing. Anyway I took pics outside even if it was gross and cold.

Nubar Orange Glitter

Sparkly

I am actually pretty impressed by this nail polish, two coats covered my nail really well considering it's really just a lot of glitter suspended in clear nail polish I think that's pretty impressive. A little part of me is dreading having to take this off though cause glitter polish is sparkly and amazing but a pain in the ass to remove. Anyone have any tips for glitter removal? Hook 'em Horns!!!!

Christmas Polish

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!! Mine was awesome, my amazing family has finally accepted my beauty obsession and I got lots of new makeup and nail polishes to play with.

So I got an early Christmas present from Fedex, my Rescue Beauty Lounge Polishes got here the morning of Christmas Eve. I got Recycle and Scrangie.

Recyle looks like the perfect green creme. I have Zoya's Envy and I was disappointed because it's too dark and it comes across as being black. Recycle looks a lot greener so hopefully that will eliminate the black/green issue.

Scrangie is an amazing Purple/Blue. I really don't think the picture does it any justice. Oops the bottle I am holding is not Scrangie, that's just a FrakenglitterPolish, My nails are painted Scrangie though.

My little brother gave me three polishes from China Glaze. I got Metallic Muse, Emerald Sparkle and Lubu Heels. They are all extremely gorgeous and I think Metallic Muse would be awesome to Konad with.

I also got three Nubar Polishes. Emerald ( I guess they noticed I wear a lot of green polish), Peacock Feathers and Orange Glitter. Peacock Feathers is amazing, its like a purple/green/blue duo chrome ( maybe triple chrome).

I am really excited about the orange glitter though, it is the perfect shade of burnt orange, I had been looking for this color for a long time.  Now I can totally rock a Longhorn manicure on Jan 7th when they play for the national title I can't wait

In my excited-ness I blurred the pic, oops.

So I am working on a Sparkly Confetti manicure for New Year's Eve, I will post pics and a Tutorial if I can get it to look the way I want. My room already looks like New Year's hit, there is glitter and foil confetti all over the place.
